CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0083894, filed on Jul. 4, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entitled: “Condensed Cyclic Compound and Organic Light-Emitting Device Including the Same,” is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to a condensed cyclic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light emitting devices are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

The organic light-emitting device may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, are recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

The compound represented by Formula 201, and the compound represented by Formula 202 may each be selected from compounds HT1 to HT20 illustrated below, as examples.

A thickness of the hole transport region may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å. When the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, the thickness of the hole injection layer may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, and for example, about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, and the thickness of the hole transport layer may be in a range of about 50 Å to about 2,000 Å, and for example, about 100 Å to about 1,500 Å. When the thicknesses of the hole transport region, the hole injection layer, and the hole transport layer are within these ranges, satisfactory hole transporting characteristics may be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The hole transport region may further include, in addition to these materials, a charge-generation material for the improvement of conductive properties. The charge-generation material may be homogeneously or non-homogeneously dispersed in the hole transport region.

The charge-generation material may be, for example, a p-dopant. The p-dopant may be one of a quinone derivative, a metal oxide, and a cyano group-containing compound, as examples. Examples of the p-dopant include a quinone derivative, such as tetracyanoquinonedimethane (TCNQ) or 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinonedimethane (F4-TCNQ); a metal oxide, such as a tungsten oxide or a molybdenum oxide, and Compound HT-D1 illustrated below.

The hole transport region may further include, in addition to the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer, at least one of a buffer layer and an electron blocking layer. Since the buffer layer may compensate for an optical resonance distance according to a wavelength of light emitted from the emission layer, light-emission efficiency of a formed organic light-emitting device may be improved. For use as a material included in the buffer layer, materials that are included in the hole transport region may be used. The electron blocking layer prevents injection of electrons from the electron transport region.

An emission layer is formed on the first electrode 110 or the hole transport region by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, a LB method, ink-jet printing, laser-printing, or laser-induced thermal imaging. When the emission layer is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions for the emission layer may be determined by referring to the deposition and coating conditions for the hole injection layer.

When the organic light-emitting device 10 is a full color organic light-emitting device, the emission layer may be patterned into a red emission layer, a green emission layer, or a blue emission layer, according to a sub pixel. In some embodiments, the emission layer may have a stacked structure of a red emission layer, a green emission layer, and a blue emission layer, or may include a red-light emission material, a green-light emission material, and a blue-light emission material, which are mixed with each other in a single layer, to emit white light.

The emission layer may include the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1.

The emission layer may include a host and a dopant. Here, the dopant may include the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1.

The host may include at least one selected from TPBi, TBADN, AND (also referred to as “DNA”), CBP, CDBP, and TCP:
